WOW! Incredible, haunting lyrical electronic music. Inspired by the folk “tonadas” of his Venezuelan heritage and his recent work with Bjork, Alejandro Ghersi aka Arca brings his own voice centerstage on this masterful 3rd LP. Entirely in Spanish, Ghersi sings of tragic, wrenching loss and love influenced by his sexuality and religion. His soaring vibrato is incredibly affecting especially paired with his beautiful piano and synth work. It wanders, it writhes, it wallows, it whithers. Arca’s music does it all, and there’s even a danceable track or two in there. All of it is excellent
